Now we're kicking points. I think we are in front: hard to tell, to be honest. The ball is living in our forward line. It just isn't going through the middle.
Live Long and Prosper!

Can't read the scoreboard: too far away when the camera doesn't focus on it.
We are in front, but it could have been much better. We really had the ball live in our forward 50. Goals came early. Points followed. But the guys picked up their game a lot.

GOALS: Crocker, Bond, Honey 2, Durdin, Wooller.

DISPOSALS: Carroll, Kemp 18, Stephens 14, Handley, Marshall, North, Ramsay, Stoddart 12.

We're 2 points up, but it could have been 4 goals.
Live Long and Prosper!

Bombing it long to Crocker like he is a key forward.

Undermanned, we have to be realistic, just because we are a team associated with an AFL club doesn't mean we can field a group of B-Graders and get a result.

The reality of a "standalone" Reserves team.  You still have to have quality players, like Crocker, who aren't quite AFL standard but can get the job done in a second tier competition.  Having so many injuries doesn't help either.

With the probability of only getting a couple of guys back anytime soon, life is looking difficult for our VFL boys.

The positives:
[1] we appear to have picked up a ruckman with promise at that level in Goetz.
[2] We have seen that Crocker is not far off being a senior player. If we had a decent game plan, Crocker would fit in. But with our bomb it to the square idiocy, I don't think he would work.
{3] Radovanovic and Stephens look worth keeping. Parsons looks reasonable. Wooller is a hard worker and North is going OK.
[4] Bond kicked 3 today, which was promising.
Live Long and Prosper!

Perhaps LOB has been given the 'don't come Monday (2022)' already?
Finals, then 4 in a row!
